Marble Madness (Genesis) US Playthrough - NintendoComplete

A playthrough of Electronic Arts' 1991 arcade game for the Sega Genesis, Marble Madness. I absolutely love Marble Madness. The EA version on the Genesis, however, is not among my favorite ports of it - it's leagues behind the NES and Japanese Genesis ports. It plays well enough, even if the control feels more awkward than it should, and the graphics are reasonably good (even if there are some strange changes that have been made for no apparent reason - why is the marble red, and why have some of the tile patterns changed?), but the sound is pretty brutal on the ears. On the rare occasion I pick this version up to play, I typically mute it before I hit the power button. If you want a really good port of Marble Madness on the Sega, look at the Tengen-produced Japanese-only version. It puts this one to shame, seriously. _____ No cheats were used during the recording of this video.
